Not Safe For Work

Previously unreleased footage of Miley Cyrus from last month’s VH1 Divas concert reveals just what a 180 she’s done on Twitter. Watch her recommend the service to Sheryl Crow backstage. “Twitter’s awesome! You should [get] a twitter because if anyone says anything mean about you, you can just like get back at them right away, like for the world to see…So, like any time anyone says anything, I’m like, ‘That’s not true, that’s not true, that’s not true’ *imitates angry texting*. It’s the best.” Irony in the USA!

Miley wouldn’t be the first teenage girl to change her mind on a dime—and Billy Ray still says it’s about hackers despite her “I need privacy” rap video—but Neil Hemsworth must be some kind of kisser to keep her from posting goofy pictures and talking about mom’s bug bites.

Fans like Billy Ray Cyrus may be bummed that Miley Cyrus has left Twitter, but they can’t say she’s cutting them out of her weblife entirely. The erstwhile Hannah Montana posted a rap video on the subject Friday, complete with back-up dancers. “The reasons are simple/I started tweetin’ about pimples/ I stopped living for moments/ and started living for people.” Wait, it’s wrong to live for other people now? Did Liam Hemsworth give her a copy of Atlas Shrugged?

Worried her video would be perceived as glib by slighted Twitter buddies—or unable to actually get off the damn net—Miley wrote a more serious blog post about the subject on her web page.

You all are the closest thing to my heart & it breaks my spirit to hear that some of you feel neglected since I deleted my twitter…I often complain to the ones closest to me that I don’t seem to have much of a private life any more and part of that is my fault. How can I whine about my life being to public if I am the one telling the world what I am doing? I need to be able to live and learn in private. I never want to quit entertaining it is my life, my love, and my passion but I can’t have my personal life be other peoples entertainment.

This isn’t a personal attack on Twitter is not the only thing I am cutting back on. This is not an attack against this particular site, I just think kids all over the world could maybe take a little vacation from Cyberspace.

That’s all well and fine for kids, Miley. But what about Dads worried they’re losing their daughter’s ear to some Aussie stud of a co-star? How long before Billy Ray sits in front of his web cam singing “Butterfly Kisses” as a response to your YouTube?

Billy Ray Cyrus has taken to his Twitter to hound daughter Miley about returning to the messaging service. While we obviously sympathize, there is just so much wrong about this.

Miley. You are a light in a world of darkness. You were born”Destiny Hope Cyrus” for a reason.You can’t leave everyone now.We r countin on u.

I understand “it is true one bad apple spoils the bunch”.But listen to the words of your songs “Stand… for what ya believe in”…Remember?

First off, if the issue that she’s not on Twitter anymore, so why write to her on Twitter? Does he assume she checks his page? Second, while any dad loves to embarrass his daughter, shouldn’t he be bringing up her full name and song lyrics at the kitchen table rather than on a website? And third, if your biggest beef with your kid is that she no longer wants to expose her inner thoughts online, consider yourself incredibly lucky. And shave off that damn soul patch—you’re almost 50.

Not content with Burger-gate and Crotch-gate, David Hasselhoff really wants to embarrass his daughters further by styling himself as some sort of tipsy Svengali Papa. Just like Joe Simpson, Jamie Spears and Billy Ray Cyrus before him, The Hoff sees his daughters Taylor-Ann and Hayley Amber as the latest tool for him to grab a slice of the fame pie, and wants to launch them as a singing pop duo.  He’s even reached out to Take That band member Gary Barlow to lend his writing credentials to The Hoff Hotstars (our name, not theirs).

“I’ve been inspired by the success of Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter Miley. If anything my girls have double the talent. What I need is a good songwriter and Gary is a genius in my book,” he tells New! magazine.

Do we need to voice our immediate thought that this is a disaster in the offing? Nope. Thought not. Because it’s blindingly obvious. [Photos: WireImage]

What a week to be Billy Ray Cyrus‘ mouth. On Monday, he said that Barack Obama’s daughters Malia and Sasha “probably will” appear next year on Hannah Montana. Tuesday, the Obama camp said they’d never been asked. Naturally, Cyrus sounded a lot less confident talking to Us at last night’s CMAs.

It’s a double-edge sword for me because first of all, I have a great deal of respect for President-elect Obama. I just mentioned about them being on the show, and it snowballed.

…If the girls want to be on the show, and him and his wife think it’s a good idea, I always say, everything in life, what’s meant to be will happen…If not, it’s probably a good thing also because these girls are going to be in a unique spotlight, and they really do need to walk with certainty and care.

…I’ll leave it up to faith. I think God has a plan for everything. I have no doubt if it’s meant to be. I’ll look up and see them some time before April.

If the President-elect didn’t like the sound of this before, we’re guessing Billy’s “God’s will” talk won’t make things any better—it’s a little too Sarah Palin. Then again, the Obama girls say they want to sing and act when they grow up. Can you imagine telling them “no, you can’t rock out with Miley Cyrus on Disney”? Someone’s going to be huffy at the inauguration.

Making millions upon millions of dollars for her parents must be a double-edged sword for Miley Cyrus. On the positive side, daddy doesn’t seem to mind that his little underage girl is running around with Justin Gaston, a 20-year-old singer and underwear model. “He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20 years old and I was living and searching for the dream,” Billy Ray Cyrus told Access Hollywood. It wouldn’t be fair to extrapolate that the 20-year-old Billy Ray also “lived for the dream” by doffing his clothes for the camera and making time with a high school sophomore, but he didn’t not say it.

Even though daddy may let you run wild with the boys, mommy may not let you run off with the cash. Leticia Cyrus claims that she’s taken away Miley’s credit card. “She had a credit card, and she went a little over her limit the other day, so I said, ‘No credit card for six months.’” GAWD, MOM! JEEZ! SO UNFAIR! Looks like the best paid teen celebrity in America will have to pay for her shopping sprees in cash. Giant mountains of cash. There is no doubt that Miley will look back and thank her parents for their sympathy, understanding and symbolic attempts at discipline.

Miley Cyrus doesn’t turn 16 until Nov. 23, but that didn’t stop her daddy Billy Ray Cyrus from shutting down Disneyland last night so that friends and fans could pay $250 each to attend her birthday party. The event, dubbed “Miley’s Sweet 16 — Share the Celebration,” was attended by 5,000 people (that’s $1,250,000 — if you’re counting).

In return for the price of admission, party-goers were treated to a pop concert extravaganza that included a whopping FOUR songs by the birthday girl herself, who donned a white frilly mini-skirt and a vest with “Sweet 16″ printed on the back. Also, several of Disneyland’s big rides were kept open for Miley’s very near and dear guests, including Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean.

For most people, however, the highlight of the night was probably star watching (unless that “Hannah Montana makeover” activity was a real blast). Celebrities like Steve Carell, Jennie Garth, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt entered the party on a “purple carpet” — purple is, like, Miley’s fav color!

For any “Joe Six-Packs” from “Main Street” who couldn’t scrape up the money to get in, there was a big fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle. We’re sure it was visible from outside the gates. [Photo: WireImage]
